The more we move away from that, the less interested I become.***

College football has always been my favorite sport. With the changes of NIL and the portal, I already find myself watching less college football and if it continues down this path, I also find myself becoming less and less interested. I never was a pro sports fan but that model now starts to interest me more because at least they have the controls of salary caps and rules on free agency and it’s transparent for the fans to see.

Someone told me that longing for student athletes isn't politically correct anymore.

Probably racist. Definitely extremist. Certainly makes some people feel unsafe, or unseen, or both.
At any rate, you are no longer allowed to have that longing anymore or you will be de-banked.

Tonight’s FCS championship should be a fun watch, but I can see the possibility of NDState getting blown out as well and then it could become not so good of a watch. Looking forward to it personally.

My oldest son played Division 2 football at Newberry College. We had a blast going to his games.

I believe only true student athletes play for Dabo @ Clemson.

I don't think the players are given a choice. You can't graduate as many as Clemson does without them going to classes an doing their work as students. I think we're confusing the term student athlete with amateur athlete.

They're only "true student-athletes" because they didn't get an offer from a better program. They would all be on scholarship and getting paid if it was up to them.
